These celebrities are advocates for #HeForShe (and Emma Watson). HeForShe is a “solidarity movement for gender equality.” It is a campaign led by UN Women, that encourages men all over the world to speak out against the inequalities faced by women and girls. Emma Watson invited these men to the table with an amazing speech, in which she said, “I’m inviting you to step forward, to be seen, and to ask yourself…if not me, who? If not now, when?”
See what male celebrities have already spoken out in support of this movement:

Universal / IFC Films
It wouldn't be award season without a handful of upsets, pleasant surprises, and "whaaaaat?"s, and the Golden Globes aren't about to start letting us down this year. The nominations for the 2014 Awards were announced Thursday morning, causing a bunch of "huh?"s and "hmm..."s to fly around.
Here are the nominations that made us scratch our heads and shout out a few "woo!"s:
Whaaaaaaaat??
Best Motion Picture, Drama: Lee Daniels' The Butler Got NothingThis film was tailor-made for award season, and it didn't even make the list once. We're not saying it should be on the list, just that we're surprised that it's not... and that Forest Whitaker is nowhere to be seen.
Best Motion Picture, Drama: RushSeparating the best motion picture category into dramas and comedies/musicals leaves room for movies to sneak their way in, but even with that said, we're definitely surprised to see Rush on the list. Sure, the film got good reviews, but there definitely hasn't been a big push for it to get any award attention. But who even cares who else is on the list when 12 Years a Slave or Gravity is going to take home the trophy.
Woo-hoo!!
Best Actress in a Motion Picture, Musical or Comedy: Greta Gerwig, Frances HaThis is unbiasedly the best surprise on the list. Greta Gerwig's performance in Frances Ha is incredibly earnest, honest, and laugh-out-loud funny, and we're glad she's getting credit where credit is due. Plus, we just love her dance moves.
Best Actress in a TV Series, Drama: Tatiana Maslany, Orphan BlackOkay, so this news might be even better than Greta Gerwig getting a nod for best actress in a comedy. Maslany was completely robbed at the Emmys for her role(s) in Orphan Black (she didn't even get a nomination!), and we're so happy that she's finally getting the recognition she deserves.
Best Supporting Actor in a Series, Mini-Series or TV Movie: Corey Stoll, House of CardsWe're definitely pleasantly surprised that Stoll got a shout out for his role in House of Cards. Sometimes it's hard to remember that there are more actors in the Netflix show than just Kevin Spacey, so we're glad someone else is getting a little attention.
Huh?
Best Actor in a Motion Picture, Drama: Idris Elba, Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom We love Idris Elba. We really do. But we're still surprised he made the list. We want to say that we're pleasantly surprised, but there's just too many great leading actors in this year's pool of contenders to let our love for Elba blind us from everyone else's performances. His portrayal of the late Nelson Mandela is strong, but it doesn't standout from those in other Mandela-inspired films.
Best Supporting Actor in a Motion Picture: Daniel Bruhl, RushFor this category, we're not surprised that Bruhl made the list, but rather that Rush made the list yet again. Someone over at the Golden Globes must seriously have a thing for the race car flick.
Best TV Series, Comedy: Brooklyn Nine-NineTruth be told, Brooklyn Nine-Nine is a pretty funny show. It's got a great cast -- Terry Crews, Chelsea Peretti, and Andre Braugher know how to make people laugh -- and some solid writing, but it's such a new show and has so much left to prove that we're surprised it caught the eye of award season so early on. (And enough with The Big Bang Theory and Modern Family already. We get it. Award season really loves them.)
Best Actor in a TV Series, Drama: James Spader, The Blacklist and Liev Schreiber, Ray DonovanWe're surprised that James Spader is getting so much praise so early on for The Blacklist, and we love Liev Schreiber, but has anyone ever talked about Ray Donovan... ever?
Best Animated Feature Film: Monsters University Didn't Get a NodGiven that only three animated films were nominated (The Croods, Frozen, Despicable Me 2), we're surprised that Monsters University wasn't added to the list. It might not be strong enough to beat out Frozen, but it has to be just as bad/good as The Croods.
Ugh.
Best TV Series, Drama: Downton Abbey and The Good WifeUgh. How boring. Downton Abbey and The Good Wife always seem to make the drama list, and we're ready for something new. We're glad that House of Cards and Master of Sex made the cut, but what about Orphan Black, The Americans, or Game of Thrones? But we guess it doesn't matter anyways; we all know Breaking Bad has the best chance of winning.
Best Actor in a TV Series, Comedy: Michael J. Fox, The Michael J. FoxOkay, so we're not actually surprised by this at all. Of course the Golden Globes would give a shout out to Fox, but come on, neither the show or his performance deserves a nod this time around. We just don't think he should be on the list.

Matthew Mcconaughey has won the first ever Best Actor prize at the Gotham Independent Film Awards in New York on Monday (02Dec13). The star was honoured with the first prize in the top acting category for his standout role as an AIDS victim in Dallas Buyers Club at the fourth annual ceremony.
Taking home the Best Actress prize was Short Term 12's Brie Larson, who has been receiving rave reviews for her role as a teacher working with troubled kids.
Another big winner of the night was Fruitvale Station, as its lead actor, Michael B. Jordan, won Breakthrough Actor and director Ryan Coogler won Breakthrough Director for his first feature film.
The top film awards were given to the team behind The Act of Killing for Best Documentary, and Joel and Ethan Coen for Inside Llewyn Davis, which won Best Feature.
Special awards were also handed out to director Richard Linklater, Oscar winner Forest Whitaker and the late James Gandolfini, who was honoured by his pal and former The Sopranos co-star Steve Buscemi.
Buscemi told the crowd, "I did not know the meaning of intimidated until those first few takes and I felt as a director obligated to say something... Jimmy was very gracious and patient with me. Tony Soprano did not come easy to him. He couldn't just turn it on and off, but when he got there it was incredible."
Hosted by comedian Nick Kroll, the fourth annual Gotham Independent Film Awards officially kicked off the 2014 awards season.

Actor Steve Buscemi will pay tribute to his The Sopranos co-star James Gandolfini at the 2013 Gotham Independent Film Awards next month (Dec13). The late actor will be honoured for his career achievements on 2 December (13) at Cipriani Wall Street in New York.
Buscemi says, "James Gandolfini was a friend, an inspiration, and an extraordinary talent whose presence is missed by all of us who knew and loved him. It is an honour to present this tribute at the Gotham Awards recognising his impact."
Other honourees at the 23rd annual New York awards show include Forest Whitaker, director Richard Linklater and media executive Katherine Oliver.
Gandolfini passed away after suffering a heart attack while vacationing in Italy in June (13).

One of this summer's most highly anticipated movies is the Weinstein Company's The Butler. Starring Forest Whitaker, the film tells the story of Cecil Gaines, a man who works as a White House butler during eight American presidencies, from 1952 to 1986. During his tenure, he witnesses countless important events in 20th century U.S. history from a highly unique perspective. But the historical drama may be facing some turmoil. According to Deadline, Warner Bros. is attempting to prevent Harvey Weinstein from using the title The Butler, claiming that it posseses the sole rights to the title because of a 1916 silent comedy by the same name.
With The Butler's August release date fast approaching, this matter seems to have arisen oddly late in the game. There is reportedly a great deal of "outrage" at the Weinstein Company, and we aren't surprised: the only logical response to this situation is, "WTF?" Has anyone actually seen this silent comedy The Butler? Isn't this new movie supposed to be an inspiring tale about adversity and American history? Why are you trying to bring everybody down, Warner Bros.?
The Butler is based on the true story of Eugene Allen and also features such heavy-hitting stars as Oprah Winfrey (in her first major film role since Beloved in 1998), John Cusack, Jane Fonda, Robin Williams, Melissa Leo, Cuba Gooding Jr., Mariah Carey, Alan Rickman, Vanessa Redgrave, Liev Schreiber, James Marsden, Minka Kelly, and Lenny Kravitz.
With such an all-star cast and fascinating subject matter, The Butler promises to be one of the best biopics of 2013. Warner Bros' claim is fairly absurd, but it could have serious implications for the movie. Whatever its title may be, we're excited to see the film. After all, what's in a name? That which we call The Butler by any other name would be just as great.

Movies that take place in the White House are usually focused on the President of the United States, but Lee Daniels' drama The Butler serves up a new perspective on the old location. Starring Forest Whitaker, Jane Fonda, and Oprah Winfrey (among a long list of Hollywood power players that make up the rest of the cast), the movie tells the story of Eugene Allen, the longtime White House employee who served under eight American presidents.
Allen was the White House's head butler from 1952 to 1986, and had a unique front-row seat as political and racial history was made. The Butler also stars Alex Pettyfer, John Cusack as Richard Nixon, Robin Williams as Dwight Eisenhower, James Marsden as John F. Kennedy, Melissa Leo, Alan Rickman as Ronald Reagan, Liev Schreiber as Lyndon B. Johnson, Terrance Howard, Minka Kelly as Jackie Kennedy, Cuba Gooding Jr., and Vanessa Redgrave.

We've got TERR-ENCE HOW-AAAARD! But when it comes her co-star in Lee Daniels' The Butler, Oprah Winfrey may end up raising her voice out of anger rather than excitement. That genteel gent Terrence Howard decided to OWN up to some, um, intimate details about shooting sex scenes with Oprah... or rather, with a particular part of Oprah's anatomy. Be forewarned: you will never be able to un-read anything your innocent eyeballs gaze upon after this interview with Movie Fanatic.
RELATED: Terrence Howard: ‘Iron Man Ruined My Career’
Howard says it was a revelation to "make out with Oprah, to have love scenes with her and those tig ol' bitties." Come again? "She's such a lovely, voluptuous woman," the Crash star added a smidgen more seriously a few seconds later. "She's very, very beautiful. That was wonderful. That was wonderful." Mind you, he said this during a junket interview for his new action thriller Dead Man Down, out March 8. So when the junkets for The Butler start (the film doesn't have an official release date but is expected out later this year), we can only assume he's really going to let loose. Check out the video because, really, just reading his comments in print don't do them full, lecherous justice:
In case you're wondering how exactly these love scenes came about, The Butler stars Forest Whitaker as a White House butler who served eight presidents over thirty years. Howard and Winfrey have supporting roles as other members of the White House staff. The film will also feature Robin Williams as Dwight D. Eisenhower, James Marsden as John F. Kennedy, and John Cusack as Richard Nixon. And apparently, things get pretty hot and heavy between Howard and Winfrey at one point. Somehow we're guessing his particular choice of words here are not among Oprah's Favorite Things.
